Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the Lord hath ^aanointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?

 2 When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

 3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:

 4 And they will ^asalute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.

 5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a ^apipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:

 6 And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt ^aprophesy with them, and shalt be ^bturned into another man.

 7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do ^aas occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
